nature of man
with open books
the missionaries come
hands of need
mouths to feed
with swords unsheathed
the missionaries come
act on greed
watched them bleed
when the last man falls
spirit of a people dies
this land of the brave
founded of treachery
nurtured by bloodshed
the cup overflows still
dominate, conquer and kill
this nature of man
cripples us all.
